Managing the Side Effects of Psychotropic Medications

Description

Provides comprehensive, pragmatic information on anticipating and countering adverse drug effects when they occur. Co- written by a research psychopharmacologist and a consultation-liaison psychiatrist, this book fills a void in the literature, helping mental health practitioners assess the risks and benefits of specific psychotropic medications and undertake strategies for managing adverse effects.

This volume includes a wealth of information relevant to clinical psychiatrists, psychiatric trainees, and psychiatric nurses, as well as medical students engaged in a psychiatry rotation.

Most valuable of all, Managing the Side Effects of Psychotropic Medications provides concise, bottom-line summary recommendations that synthesize all available empirical and anecdotal information on psychotropic medications.
